 ments in roads and docks made. The veter- ,; an and sunburned William Wallace, who keeps grocery store on the mainland, may 1 be seen as usual twice a day with his old
 straw hat and blue jeans on with boat : load of provisions moving over to the islands
 to provide the cottagers with the necessaries : of life, and his familiar "Good morning, Mrs.
 | or MT. -, what will you have o-day?" is
 a welcome sound to the cottagers, among
 | whom MT. Wallace is very popular. Next to
 MT. Wallace in popularity is Capt. Page, who
 ! runs the fast sailing catboat Libby" and
 yesterday he took party of thirty to Faulk-
 ner's Island and return, a delightful sail, so
 the ladies said. On the arrival of all trains
 stages are in waiting from the Three Elm
 House, J. N. Coe proprietor, Frink's Indian
 Point House and Northrops Island View
 House at Flying Point. The first mentioned
 house is the one nearest the station and to
 this house the COURIER reporter first directed
 his weary footsteps in search of news. The
 only attractions there seemed to be the antics
 of lank, lean and seedy looking cinnamon
 bear in the hands of two Russian Jews, who
 made the bear climb one of the famous three elm trees, after which the house is named, dance and do other tricks, after which the
 children fed the bear on cake and other
 l dainties, which the latter devoured as if he
 had not tasted food for many days. The
 other attraction was the prominent absence
 of Reporter and Detective Bates, of Way
 murder fame, who had gone to Foxon with a party to spend the day. He is boarding at this house and has made himself quite popu-
 lar with the guests, who missed him very l much while away at Railway for few days
 in search of clues. The Three Films house is
 well filled with guests other than
 transients, and over one hundred spent Sunday at the house. Among some
 of the boarders there at present are: De- ! l tectiye William M. Bates, New York; Frede- | rick Squires, New Haven; H. B. Levi, Mer-

 After a drive of nearly mile the visitor :, came in sight of the Island View House, sit ! handsome cottages, all of which command E an excellent view of the Thimbles and the ! V Sound. The house is fronting on a nice N lawn leading down to the water, and at the ~ end of the dock float the colors of the New M Haven Yacht club, and at this dock were al anchored the Frolic, Captain Cooper, and al the Twilight, Captain Smith, waiting for
 people wishing to visit the islands. From y here also, as we'll as other places, fine view al was had of the seventeen yachts of the At a1 Lantic fleet as they. sailed past about 10 cc o'clock in the morning going to the east c ward with fair wind and strong ebb tide to ! e 1elp them on.
